Directives are a big part of angular.js web application development. If you have ever used angular at all you have used at least some built in directives such as ng-app, and ng-repeat. However it is possible to create your own directives using the directive method in the module api when creating an angular module.
When first starting out with angular I found myself having logic in my controllers which is not really what a controller id for. Loops, and app login in general, is best placed inside services made with module.factory, or one of the other options for doing so.
In this post I will be covering how I go about making a loop in a service, and using a controller to update the view with the latest data from that service.
The ng-repeat directive in angular is useful for using the same html over and over again with a bunch of objects that have similar structure.
I am still somewhat new with angular.js, but I have been working hard on making a lot of cool demos, and apps with in in my test_angular project. When first starting out I would have logic in my controllers, which is not what they are for, they should be thin. In addition I would keep writing some of my modules in my old vanilla js manner, which works of course, but I am using angular so I should do something that makes my modules angular like. One way to do this is to use a Factory, It is one of three ways to make what is called a service in angular speak.
The bootstrap phase in Angular.js is the first phase before complication, and runtime. This happens once angular is done loading in the browser, at which point angular initializes it’s own components, and then takes a look at any modules that may be defined.
